The verdict
Fit
Crew neck merino with button cuff detail. Merino tends to have more body than cashmere; expect a slightly warmer tactile feel and a neat fit.
Quality
Merino at $250 is a reliable sweet spot: soft enough for comfort, durable enough for frequent wear, and less fussy than cashmere.
Is the price fair?
Strong value. Merino avoids cashmere's hand-washing requirement and costs less, while feeling nicer than standard wool.
Best for
Practical everyday dressing; the deep green works across seasons and with most wardrobes.
Care
Most modern merino can be machine-washed gently and laid flat to dry; check the care label for heat restrictions.
What owners report about Turnbull & Asser sweaters
Genuine third-party coverage of Turnbull & Asser's knitwear is sparse and lives almost entirely on menswear forums, but what exists is positive: Styleforum members rate the cashmere sweaters as very good quality and note the knitwear is produced by a specialist Scottish cashmere mill. One owner reports his piece shows no signs of problems, while cautioning he hasn't put many miles on it yet. Owners consistently treat full retail as expensive and say the value case is strongest during the brand's seasonal sales, when they report substantial markdowns.
- Strengths
- Scottish-milled cashmere that the owner reports available consistently rate as very good quality.
- Watch out for
- High full-retail pricing is the main caution — forum members advise waiting for seasonal sales — and long-term durability reports are scarce.
